TRENTON — The city’s prostitutes are apparently so appealing that men are traveling out of state to seek their services.

Seven alleged johns, including three from surrounding states, and eight alleged prostitutes were nabbed by authorities Wednesday from several law enforcement agencies conducting a sting in Chambersburg.

The following men were arrested and charged with loitering for prostitution and face a fine of $1,000 or six months in jail: Michael Del-Orbe Brens, 27, of Bronx, N.Y., Joel Sanchez-Garcia, 35, of Philadelphia; Alexander Morell, 33, of Ambler, Pa.; Miguel Lopez-Gomez, 29, of Ewing; Freddy McClammy Jr., 47, of Hamilton; and Trenton residents Marvin Lopez-Yanes, 25; and Leon Nimley, 51, according to court documents.

Of the eight women, Beer pleaded guilty to the charge and was sentenced to a $500 fine and 30 days community service.

To conduct the sting, undercover police officers, posing as either johns or prostitutes, were posted along South Clinton Avenue, between Elmer Street and Roebling Avenue.

Men allegedly offered between $25 and $100 to female police officers for various sex acts while local prostitutes offered themselves to police for $40, Judge Gregory Williams said as he read the criminal complaints to the arrestees Thursday morning in Trenton Municipal Court.

Wednesday’s raid was not the first time law enforcement has had to address the issue of prostitution on South Clinton Avenue. In July of 2012, Trenton Police conducted a joint investigation with Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the FBI, the New Jersey State Police and the Mercer County Prosecutor’s Office that resulted in 12 arrests after raiding homes on the 800 to 1000 block of South Clinton Avenue, the 100 block of Adeline Street and the 200 block of Bayard Street. South Clinton Avenue in particular has been notorious for prostitution. Two of the homes that were raided last summer became murder scenes.

Neemias Reyes-Gonzales, 37, was shot multiple times inside a home on the 800 block of South Clinton Avenue last September. He had previously been arrested and charged with promoting prostitution in the July raids. A woman who worked at a nearby restaurant said several prostitutes poured out of the home when the shooting started. On Jan. 31, Benito Escalante, 26, of no fixed address, died after being shot in the head inside an alleged brothel on the 1000 block of South Clinton Avenue. Currently, no arrests have been made in either case.

At the time of Escalante’s murder, neighbors described the house where he died as a 24-hour flophouse. Residents described men entering the home to engage in prostitution with women kept in the rear of the home while a male lookout watched for police.
